What the yearbook said

Willie made many friends while he has been in High School. His humor was enjoyed by everybody. He thought he would like to run on the Cross Country team, and, after many misfortunes, he became assistant manager and then manager. Dick is to attend the Bentley School of Accounting next year. We all hope he has a lot of luck!
